The F104 StarfighterThe F104 Starfighter caused “both sides tosit back and scratch their head in awe." It’s very small and thin trapezoidalwing and J79GE19 engine helped it reach ~1400mph and 75,000ft altitude. In 1959, the 20mm M61 Vulcan hummed at Lowry gunnery range. By the mid 1960s, Pakistani F104As could outrun and fly higher, but could not turn with Indian MiG21Fs.
F104Cs ensured the safety of the aircraft entrusted to its escort, or to out-perform any aircraft in existence at the time.
The F104s mission in SEA: air superiority – a mission it performed brilliantly. CDkit represents an F104C with APR-25/26 RHAW used to escort Wild Weasels.
The F104G was the most-produced with 1,200 aircraft built. Start of the ‘Electronics era’ – Autonetics NASARR F15A-41B radar with air-to-air, ground-mapping, contour-mapping, and terrain-avoidance modes, as well as the LittonLN-3 inertial navigation system.
